Created for everyday carry (EDC) theme in Macro Monday HMM! :-) Something that you always carry with you when you go out, other than the usual wallet, key, phone.

This metal nail file has been in my pocketbook since the 70s! It has endured many pocketbooks and now I’m thinking I should include it in my will. lol.. It sure is sturdy and still does the most fab job at what it’s made for. Why the paper nail files are popular is beyond me. But I digress.. I took this macro inside my pocketbook as I love polka dots. Hope you enjoy.

Today I have to run out at 9am for almost 2 hours, hopefully less, but will be back then. Looking forward to seeing everyones submissions. edit: I'm back. :-)

This composite was a bit of an experiment for me.

I have long seen Milky Way photos taken in close proximity to population centers.

Bogus! I'd say.

So I thought I'd take a stab at it.

Here I'm on the western outskirts of Albuquerque. I shot the landscape the way I normally would, adjusting the histogram to just peak out on the highlights. That didn't leave too much for the shadows, or the sky. Doing that alone, you would see a few stars, but not really that many.

I then reset my kit to capture the sky. To do this without causing my sensor too much grief, I partially masked off my lens so that it could only see the light pollution and higher, no direct artificial lights. What surprised me was that the Milky Way was discernable at all! In this composite, it is actually roughly 90 degrees away from the road at left leading in to Albuquerque. I did have to pull out all the tricks to make it look this clear. It's exposure and contrast are enhanced relative to the surrounding sky.

So, on the one hand, I was shocked to observe this much of the Milky Way without really "leaving town." On the other hand, this experiment confirmed the tricks that folks have to perform to create images of the Milky Way over their favorite city. They're a bit bogus, like this one. That said, it can be quite a challenge to try to piece it together. Made from 23 light frames by Starry Landscape Stacker 1.8.0. Algorithm: Mean Min Hor Noise.

Cheers!
